The Tennessee Titans expect the right hip injury starting quarterback Jake Locker suffered in Sunday's win over the New York Jets could keep him out up to two months, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Monday.

Tennessee still awaiting more tests on Jake Locker’s injured hip, but belief is he could miss four to eight weeks.

Locker was hurt when he took a hard hit in the pocket from Jets defensive lineman Muhammad Wilkerson, followed up by a shoulder-to-shoulder blow from outside linebacker Quinton Coples. According to Schefter, the NFL is considering fining both New York players for their hits.

It was bad enough for Locker to be carried off the field on a stretcher. He was later taken to a local Nashville hospital by ambulance. While waiting the complete test results including an MRI, the Titans learned the initial X-rays were negative, showing no dislocation of the joint that would lead to a season-ending injury.

Locker has guided the Titans to a surprising 3-1 record, and was working on another strong performance, leaving the game after completing 18-of-24 passes for 149 yards and three touchdowns. The team turned to veteran backup Ryan Fitzpatrick in relief, and now is prepared to roll with Fitzpatrick for a month or two.

Tennessee has a difficult schedule coming up, with 4-0 Kansas City and 4-0 Seattle in the next two weeks before hosting San Francisco in Week 7.
